The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Kunisaki - Everything it brings, everything it takes away (Liminal Garden)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks Like


What We Say

Although most microgenres are just fairly pointless splinters of grander themes, I do like a good concept so I'm running with naturewave - a fusion of new age & ambient music with a vaporwave (discuss!) veneer, as I like its sonic genes. It certainly helps when the new LP from Kunisaki for naturewave enablers Liminal Garden is a perfectly rounded ambient cocktail and ideal weekend sofa soundtrack.

What The RElease Notes SAy

We are proud to feature this most special album by producer Kunisaki, who's been on our radar since his popular space-themed debut over on French dreampunk label Mobile Suits. The talented artist, who works as an astronomer, remains earthbound for “Everything it brings, everything it takes away”, a deeply personal album presented as an ambient walk through an autumnal forest.

Sunken in thought, the wanderer's mind circles around the transience of life and the unstoppable wear of time itself, while the soft chime of rustling leaves, the soothing chords of wind chimes and distant church bells are a constant presence on an otherwise solitary walk.

Tender, majestic pads paint a picture of colorful landscapes and wistful melodies sparkle like raindrops on an unresting river surface. The sunlight is filtered through yellowed birch leaves — a reminder of both decay and renewal, everything life takes away and everything it leaves us with in exchange along the way.

Elevating the album to another level is the eye-popping art of illustrator Christina Davies, who has mixed her traditional drawings with digital art much like the album combines field recordings and programmed music. Her colorful artwork graces not only the cover but also the individual track art.

The full album will be released in two weeks on Friday the 25th. And then later this year on a beautiful cassette (that's still being worked on right now).
